Unfortunately, she sustained a severe back injury that ended her career. In 2006, she was rushed into emergency back surgery after several herniated discs ruptured. This left her with severe back pain that she will suffer with for the rest of her life. As a result, I learned to care and to have compassion for those in need. My passion to work in pediatrics stems from my experience of being an aunt. I became an aunt at the age of four and I am now an aunt to six beautiful,

Nursing focuses on the care of people, their families, and communities to achieve an overall goal of relative health and quality of life throughout life. My personal philosophy characterizes the discipline of nursing using the four metaparadigms concepts: person, environment, health, and nursing.

The nursing field gives a person many opportunities to work with and care for sick patients.
